The majority of Arab governments have failed to use their economic, political, diplomatic, and moral resources and tools to pressure Israel and its allies to lift the siege on Gaza, ensure a ceasefire, and prevent a war of annihilation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The League of Arab States failed to address the blockade imposed on Gaza, including Israel&#8217;s use of starvation as a method of warfare, which constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity. On 11 October, the League of Arab States issued a weak resolution, and did not include a unified Arab position on the war crimes currently being committed, including the crime of deliberate starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. Similarly, the Arab Group failed to take any initiative, whether in the Human Rights Council, the Security Council, or the General Assembly, to issue a UN resolution or recommendation for a ceasefire or opening of humanitarian relief corridors. In the meantime, the Palestinian Authority has gradually turned into a security arm of the occupation, and currently lacks any legitimacy; it is only used by the occupation to restrict rights and freedoms in the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The undersigned organizations unequivocally condemn the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2023\/10\/israel-palestinian-armed-groups-must-be-held-accountable-for-deliberate-civilian-killings-abductions-and-indiscriminate-attacks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> targeting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and hostage-taking of Israeli and foreign civilians on 7 October, in the context of Hamas\u2019 attacks on Israel. At the same time, we stress that the heavy civilian casualties resulting from Israel\u2019s escalated response requires a different approach from the international community. The international community should examine in-depth the causes of the outbreak of violence and its recurrence, and it must also change course on the decades-long international failure to prevent Israel\u2019s repeated and escalating violations of international resolutions and agreements while defending the rights of the Palestinians to self-determination and return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The occupation authorities&#8217; crimes against the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over the course of more than ten days is not a new development, but instead represents an extension of Israeli policy and practice that has been ongoing for more than half a century.

Israel continues to maintain a criminal investigation system that does not adhere to international standards, and does not conduct comprehensive, effective, independent and impartial investigations into perpetrators, including those in leadership positions, military commanders, and government officials.
